The application relates to novel psilocin derivatives of Formula (I) forthe treatment of different conditions that are treated by activation ofserotonin receptor, for example, mental illnesses and other neurologicaldiseases, disorders and conditions, in the fields of psychiatry,neurobiology and pharmacotherapy. The present application furthercomprises methods for making the compounds of Formula (I) andcorresponding intermediates.

BACKGROUND OF THE APPLICATION

Mental health disorders, or mental illness, refer to a wide range ofdisorders that include, but are not limited to, depressive disorders,anxiety and panic disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders, substancemisuse disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder. Theseverity of symptoms varies such that some individuals experiencedebilitating disease that precludes normal social function, while otherssuffer with intermittent repeated episodes across their lifespan.Although the presentation and diagnostic criteria among mental illnessconditions are distinct in part, there are common endophenotypes of noteacross the diseases, and often comorbidities exist. Specifically, thereexist phenotypic endophenotypes associated with alterations in mood,cognition and behavior. Interestingly, many of these endophenotypesextend to neurological conditions as well. For example, attentionaldeficits are reported in patients with attention deficit disorder,attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, eating disorders, substanceuse disorders, schizophrenia, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder,traumatic brain injury, Fragile X, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson'sdisease and frontotemporal dementia.

Many mental health disorders, as well as neurological disorders, areimpacted by alterations, dysfunction, degeneration, and/or damage to thebrain's serotonergic system, which may explain, in part, commonendophenotypes and comorbidities among neuropsychiatric and neurologicaldiseases. Many therapeutic agents that modulate serotonergic functionare commercially available, including serotonin reuptake inhibitors,selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antidepressants, monoamineoxidase inhibitors, and, while primarily developed for depressivedisorders, many of these therapeutics are used across multiple medicalindications including, but not limited to, depression in Alzheimer'sdisease and other neurodegenerative disease, chronic pain, existentialpain, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety disordersand smoking cessation. However, in many cases, the marketed drugs showlimited benefit compared to placebo, can take six weeks to work and forsome patients, and are associated with several side effects includingtrouble sleeping, drowsiness, fatigue, weakness, changes in bloodpressure, memory problems, digestive problems, weight gain and sexualproblems.

The field of psychedelic neuroscience has witnessed a recent renaissancefollowing decades of restricted research due to their legal status.Psychedelics are one of the oldest classes of psychopharmacologicalagents known to man and cannot be fully understood without reference tovarious fields of research, including anthropology, ethnopharmacology,psychiatry, psychology, sociology, and others. Psychedelics(serotonergic hallucinogens) are powerful psychoactive substances thatalter perception and mood and affect numerous cognitive processes. Theyare generally considered physiologically safe and do not lead todependence or addiction. Their origin predates written history, and theywere employed by early cultures in many sociocultural and ritualcontexts. After the virtually contemporaneous discovery of(5R,8R)-(+)-lysergic acid-N,N-diethylamide (LSD) and the identificationof serotonin in the brain, early research focused intensively on thepossibility that LSD and other psychedelics had a serotonergic basis fortheir action. Today there is a consensus that psychedelics are agonistsor partial agonists at brain serotonin 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A (5-HT2A)receptors, with particular importance on those expressed on apicaldendrites of neocortical pyramidal cells in layer V, but also may bindwith lower affinity to other receptors such as the sigma-1 receptor.Several useful rodent models have been developed over the years to helpunravel the neurochemical correlates of serotonin 5-HT2A receptoractivation in the brain, and a variety of imaging techniques have beenemployed to identify key brain areas that are directly affected bypsychedelics.

Psychedelics have both rapid onset and persisting effects long aftertheir acute effects, which includes changes in mood and brain function.Long lasting effects may result from their unique receptor affinities,which affect neurotransmission via neuromodulatory systems that serve tomodulate brain activity, i.e., neuroplasticity, and promote cellsurvival, are neuroprotective, and modulate brain neuroimmune systems.The mechanisms which lead to these long-term neuromodulatory changes arelinked to epigenetic modifications, gene expression changes andmodulation of pre- and post-synaptic receptor densities. These,previously under-researched, psychedelic drugs may potentially providethe next-generation of neurotherapeutics, where treatment resistantpsychiatric and neurological diseases, e.g., depression, post-traumaticstress disorder, dementia and addiction, may become treatable withattenuated pharmacological risk profiles.

Although there is a general perception that psychedelic drugs aredangerous, from a physiologic safety standpoint, they are one of thesafest known classes of CNS drugs. They do not cause addiction, and nooverdose deaths have occurred after ingestion of typical doses ofclassical psychotic agents, such as LSD, psilocybin, or mescaline(Scheme 1). Preliminary data show that psychedelic administration inhumans results in a unique profile of effects and potential adversereactions that need to be appropriately addressed to maximize safety.The primary safety concerns are largely psychologic, rather thanphysiologic, in nature. Somatic effects vary but are relativelyinsignificant, even at doses that elicit powerful psychologic effects.Psilocybin, when administered in a controlled setting, has frequentlybeen reported to cause transient, delayed headache, with incidence,duration, and severity increased in a dose-related manner [Johnson etal., Drug Alcohol Depend, 2012, 123(1-3):132-140]. It has been foundthat repeated administration of psychedelics leads to a very rapiddevelopment of tolerance known as tachyphylaxis, a phenomenon believedto be mediated, in part, by 5-HT2A receptors. In fact, several studieshave shown that rapid tolerance to psychedelics correlates withdownregulation of 5-HT2A receptors. For example, daily LSDadministration selectively decreased 5-HT2 receptor density in the ratbrain [Buckholtz et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol., 1990, 109:421-425. 1985;Buckholtz et al., Life Sci. 1985, 42:2439-2445].

Classic psychedelics and dissociative psychedelics are known to haverapid onset antidepressant and anti-addictive effects, unlike anycurrently available treatment. Randomized clinical control studies haveconfirmed antidepressant and anxiolytic effects of classic psychedelicsin humans. Ketamine also has well established antidepressant andanti-addictive effects in humans mainly through its action as an NMDAantagonist. Ibogaine has demonstrated potent anti-addictive potential inpre-clinical studies and is in the early stages of clinical trials todetermine efficacy in robust human studies [Barsuglia et al., Prog BrainRes, 2018, 242:121-158; Corkery, Prog Brain Res, 2018, 242:217-257].

Psilocybin (4-phosphoryloxy-N,N-dimethyltrypatmine (iii, Scheme 1) hasthe chemical formula C₁₂H₁₇N₂O₄P. It is a tryptamine and is one of themajor psychoactive constituents in mushrooms of the psilocybe species.It was first isolated from psilocybe mushrooms by Hofmann in 1957, andlater synthesized by him in 1958 [Passie et al. Addict Biol., 2002,7(4):357-364], and was used in psychiatric and psychological researchand in psychotherapy during the early to mid-1960s up until itscontrolled drug scheduling in 1970 in the US, and up until the 1980s inGermany [Passie 2005; Passie et al., Addict Biol., 2002, 7(4):357-364].Research into the effects of psilocybin resumed in the mid-1990s, and itis currently the preferred compound for use in studies of the effects ofserotonergic hallucinogens [Carter et al. J. Cogn. Neurosci., 200517(10):1497-1508; Gouzoulis-Mayfrank et al. Neuropsychopharmacology1999, 20(6):565-581; Hasler et al, Psychopharmacology (Berl) 2004,172(2):145-156], likely because it has a shorter duration of action andsuffers from less notoriety than LSD. Like other members of this class,psilocybin induces sometimes profound changes in perception, cognitionand emotion, including emotional lability.

In humans as well as other mammals, psilocybin is transformed into theactive metabolite psilocin, or 4-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (iv,Scheme 1). It is likely that psilocin partially or wholly produces mostof the subjective and physiological effects of psilocybin in humans andnon-human animals. Recently, human psilocybin research confirms the5HT2A activity of psilocybin and psilocin, and provides some support forindirect effects on dopamine through 5HT2A activity and possibleactivity at other serotonin receptors. In fact, the most consistentfinding for involvement of other receptors in the actions ofpsychedelics is the 5-HT1A receptor. That is particularly true fortryptamines and LSD, which generally have significant affinity andfunctional potency at this receptor. It is known that 5-HT1A receptorsare colocalized with 5-HT2A receptors on cortical pyramidal cells[Martin-Ruiz et al. J Neurosci. 2001, 21(24):9856-986], where the tworeceptor types have opposing functional effects [Araneda et al.Neuroscience, 1991, 40(2):399-412].

Although the exact role of the 5-HT2A receptor, and other 5-HT2 receptorfamily members, is not well understood with respect to the amygdala, itis evident that the 5-HT2A receptor plays an important role in emotionalresponses and is an important target to be considered in the actions of5-HT2A agonist psychedelics. In fact, a majority of known 5HT2A agonistsproduce hallucinogenic effects in humans, and rodents generalize fromone 5HT2A agonist to others, as between psilocybin and LSD [Aghajanianet al., Eur J Pharmacol., 1999, 367(2-3):197-206; Nichols at al., JNeurochem., 2004, 90(3):576-584]. Psilocybin has a stronger affinity forthe human 5HT2A receptor than for the rat receptor and it has a lowerK(i) for both 5HT2A and 5HT2C receptors than LSD. Moreover, results froma series of drug-discrimination studies in rats found that 5HT2Aantagonists, and not 5HT1A antagonists, prevented rats from recognizingpsilocybin [Winter et al., Pharmacol Biochem Behav., 2007,87(4):472-480]. Daily doses of LSD and psilocybin reduce 5HT2 receptordensity in rat brain.

Clinical studies in the 1960s and 1970s showed that psilocybin producesan altered state of consciousness with subjective symptoms such as“marked alterations in perception, mood, and thought, changes inexperience of time, space, and self.” Psilocybin was used inexperimental research for the understanding of etiopathogenesis ofselective mental disorders and showed psychotherapeutic potential[Rucker et al., Psychopharmacol., 2016, 30(12):1220-1229]. Psilocybinbecame increasingly popular as a hallucinogenic recreational drug andwas eventually classed as a Schedule I controlled drug in 1970. Fear ofpsychedelic abuse led to a significant reduction in research being donein this area until the 1990s when human research of psilocybin wasrevived when conditions for safe administration were established[Johnson et al., Psychopharmacol., 2008, 22(6):603-620]. Today,psilocybin is one of the most widely used psychedelics in human studiesdue to its relative safety, moderately long active duration, and goodabsorption in subjects. There remains strong research and therapeuticpotential for psilocybin as recent studies have shown varying degrees ofsuccess in neurotic disorders, alcoholism, depression in terminally illcancer patients, obsessive compulsive disorder, addiction, anxiety,post-traumatic stress disorder and even cluster headaches. It could alsobe useful as a psychosis model for the development of new treatments forpsychotic disorders. [Dubovyk and Monahan-Vaughn, ACS Chem. Neurosci.,2018, 9(9):2241-2251].

Recent developments in the field have occurred in clinical research,where several double-blind placebo-controlled phase 2 studies ofpsilocybin-assisted psychotherapy in patients with treatment resistant,major depressive disorder and cancer-related psychosocial distress havedemonstrated unprecedented positive relief of anxiety and depression.Two recent small pilot studies of psilocybin assisted psychotherapy alsohave shown positive benefit in treating both alcohol and nicotineaddiction. Recently, blood oxygen level-dependent functional magneticresonance imaging and magnetoencephalography have been employed for invivo brain imaging in humans after administration of a psychedelic, andresults indicate that intravenously administered psilocybin and LSDproduce decreases in oscillatory power in areas of the brain's defaultmode network [Nichols D E. Pharmacol Rev., 2016 68(2):264-355].

Preliminary studies using positron emission tomography (PET) showed thatpsilocybin ingestion (15 or 20 mg orally) increased absolute metabolicrate of glucose in frontal, and to a lesser extent in other, corticalregions as well as in striatal and limbic subcortical structures inhealthy participants, suggesting that some of the key behavioral effectsof psilocybin involve the frontal cortex [Gouzoulis-Mayfrank et al.,Neuropsychopharmacology, 1999, 20(6):565-581; Vollenweider et al., BrainRes. Bull. 2001, 56(5):495-507]. Although 5HT2A agonism is widelyrecognized as the primary action of classic psychedelic agents,psilocybin has lesser affinity for a wide range of other pre- andpost-synaptic serotonin and dopamine receptors, as well as the serotoninreuptake transporter [Tyls et al., Eur. Neuropsychopharmacol. 2014,24(3):342-356]. Psilocybin activates 5HT1A receptors, which maycontribute to antidepressant/anti-anxiety effects.

Depression and anxiety are two of the most common psychiatric disordersworldwide. Depression is a multifaceted condition characterized byepisodes of mood disturbances alongside other symptoms such asanhedonia, psychomotor complaints, feelings of guilt, attentionaldeficits and suicidal tendencies, all of which can range in severity.According to the World Health Organization, the discovery of mainstreamantidepressants has largely revolutionized the management of depression,yet up to 60% of patients remain inadequately treated. This is often dueto the drugs' delayed therapeutic effect (generally 6 weeks fromtreatment onset), side effects leading to non-compliance, or inherentnon-responsiveness to them. Similarly, anxiety disorders are acollective of etiologically complex disorders characterized by intensepsychosocial distress and other symptoms depending on the subtype.Anxiety associated with life-threatening disease is the only anxietysubtype that has been studied in terms of psychedelic-assisted therapy.This form of anxiety affects up to 40% of individuals diagnosed withlife-threatening diseases like cancer. It manifests as apprehensionregarding future danger or misfortune accompanied by feelings ofdysphoria or somatic symptoms of tension, and often coexists withdepression. It is associated with decreased quality of life, reducedtreatment adherence, prolonged hospitalization, increased disability,and hopelessness, which overall contribute to decreased survival rates.Pharmacological and psychosocial interventions are commonly used tomanage this type of anxiety, but their efficacy is mixed and limitedsuch that they often fail to provide satisfactory emotional relief.Recent interest into the use of psychedelic-assisted therapy mayrepresent a promising alternative for patients with depression andanxiety that are ineffectively managed by conventional methods.

Generally, the psychedelic treatment model consists of administering theorally-active drug to induce a mystical experience lasting 4-9 hdepending on the psychedelic [Halberstadt, Behav Brain Res., 2015,277:99-120; Nichols, Pharmacol Rev., 2016, 68(2): 264-355]. This enablesparticipants to work through and integrate difficult feelings andsituations, leading to enduring anti-depressant and anxiolytic effects.Classical psychedelics like psilocybin and LSD are being studied aspotential candidates. In one study with classical psychedelics for thetreatment of depression and anxiety associated with life-threateningdisease, it was found that, in a supportive setting, psilocybin, and LSDconsistently produced significant and sustained anti-depressant andanxiolytic effects.

Psychedelic treatment is generally well-tolerated with no persistingadverse effects. Regarding their mechanisms of action, they mediatetheir main therapeutic effects biochemically via serotonin receptoragonism, and psychologically by generating meaningful psycho-spiritualexperiences that contribute to mental flexibility. Given the limitedsuccess rates of current treatments for anxiety and mood disorders, andconsidering the high morbidity associated with these conditions, thereis potential for psychedelics to provide symptom relief in patientsinadequately managed by conventional methods.

Further emerging clinical research and evidence suggestpsychedelic-assisted therapy, also shows potential as an alternativetreatment for refractory substance use disorders and mental healthconditions, and thus may be an important tool in a crisis where existingapproaches have yielded limited success. A recent systematic review ofclinical trials published over the last 25 years summarizes some of theanti-depressive, anxiolytic, and anti-addictive effects of classicpsychedelics. Among these, are encouraging findings from a meta-analysisof randomized controlled trials of LSD therapy and a recent pilot studyof psilocybin-assisted therapy for treating alcohol use disorder [dosSantos et al., Ther Adv Psychopharmacol., 2016, 6(3):193-213]. Similarlyencouraging, are findings from a recent pilot study ofpsilocybin-assisted therapy for tobacco use disorder, demonstratingabstinence rates of 80% at six months follow-up and 67% at 12 monthsfollow-up [Johnson et al., J Drug Alcohol Abuse, 2017, 43(1):55-60;Johnson et al., Psychopharmacol. 2014, 28(11):983-992], such rates areconsiderably higher than any documented in the tobacco cessationliterature. Notably, mystical-type experiences generated from thepsilocybin sessions were significantly correlated with positivetreatment outcomes. These results coincide with bourgeoning evidencefrom recent clinical trials lending support to the effectiveness ofpsilocybin-assisted therapy for treatment-resistant depression andend-of-life anxiety [Carhart-Harris et al. Neuropsychopharmacology,2017, 42(11):2105-2113]. Research on the potential benefits ofpsychedelic-assisted therapy for opioid use disorder (OUD) is beginningto emerge, and accumulating evidence supports a need to advance thisline of investigation. Available evidence from earlier randomizedclinical trials suggests a promising role for treating OUD: higher ratesof abstinence were observed among participants receiving high dose LSDand ketamine-assisted therapies for heroin addiction compared tocontrols at long-term follow-ups. Recently, a large United Statespopulation study among 44,000 individuals found that psychedelic use wasassociated with 40% reduced risk of opioid abuse and 27% reduced risk ofopioid dependence in the following year, as defined by DSM-IV criteria[Pisano et al., J Psychopharmacol., 2017, 31(5):606-613]. Similarly, aprotective moderating effect of psychedelic use was found on therelationship between prescription opioid use and suicide risk amongmarginalized women [Argento et al., J Psychopharmacol., 2018,32(12):1385-1391]. Despite the promise of these preliminary findingswith classical psychedelic agents, further research is warranted todetermine what it may contribute to the opioid crisis response giventheir potential toxicity. Meanwhile, growing evidence on the safety andefficacy of psilocybin for the treatment of mental and substance usedisorders should help to motivate further clinical investigation intoits use as a novel intervention for OUD.

Regular doses of psychedelics also ameliorate sleep disturbances, whichare highly prevalent in depressive patients with more than 80% of themhaving complaints of poor sleep quality. The sleep symptoms are oftenunresolved by first-line treatment and are associated with a greaterrisk of relapse and recurrence. Interestingly, sleep problems oftenappear before other depression symptoms, and subjective sleep qualityworsens before the onset of an episode in recurrent depression. Brainareas showing increased functional connectivity with poor sleep scoresand higher depressive symptomatology scores included prefrontal andlimbic areas, areas involved in the processing of emotions. Sleepdisruption in healthy participants has demonstrated that sleep is indeedinvolved in mood, emotion evaluation processes and brain reactivity toemotional stimuli. An increase in negative mood and a mood-independentmislabeling of neutral stimuli as negative was for example shown by onestudy while another demonstrated an amplified reactivity in limbic brainregions in response to both negative and positive stimuli. Two otherstudies assessing electroencephalographic (EEG) brain activity duringsleep showed that psychedelics, such as LSD, positively affect sleeppatterns. Moreover, it has been shown that partial or a full night ofsleep deprivation can alleviate symptoms of depression suggested byresetting circadian rhythms via modification of clock gene expression.It further was suggested that a single dose of a psychedelic causes areset of the biological clock underlying sleep/wake cycles and therebyenhances cognitive-emotional processes in depressed people but alsoimproving feelings of well-being and enhances mood in healthyindividuals [Kuypers, Medical Hypotheses, 2019, 125:21-24].

In a systematic meta-analysis of clinical trials from 1960-2018researching the therapeutic use of psychedelic treatment in patientswith serious or terminal illnesses and related psychiatric illness, itwas found that psychedelic therapy (mostly with LSD) may improvecancer-related depression, anxiety, and fear of death. Four randomizedcontrolled clinical trials were published between 2011 and 2016, mostlywith psilocybin treatment, that demonstrated psychedelic-assistedtreatment can produce rapid, robust, and sustained improvements incancer-related psychological and existential distress. [Ross S, Int RevPsychiatry, 2018, 30(4):317-330]. Thus, the use of psychedelics in thefields of oncology and palliative care is intriguing for severalreasons. First, many patients facing cancer or other life-threateningillnesses experience significant existential distress related to loss ofmeaning or purpose in life, which can be associated with hopelessness,demoralization, powerlessness, perceived burdensomeness, and a desirefor hastened death. Those features are also often at the core ofclinically significant anxiety and depression, and they cansubstantially diminish quality of life in this patient population. Thealleviation of those forms of suffering should be among the central aimsof palliative care. Accordingly, several manualized psychotherapies forcancer-related existential distress have been developed in recent years,with an emphasis on dignity and meaning-making. However, there arecurrently no pharmacologic interventions for existential distress perse, and available pharmacologic treatments for depressive symptoms inpatients with cancer have not demonstrated superiority over placebo.There remains a need for additional effective treatments for thoseconditions [Rosenbaum et al., Curr. Oncol., 2019, 26(4): 225-226].

Recently, there has been growing interest in a new dosing paradigm forpsychedelics such as psilocybin and LSD referred to colloquially asmicrodosing. Under this paradigm, sub-perceptive doses of theserotonergic hallucinogens, approximately 10% or less of the full dose,are taken on a more consistent basis of once each day, every other day,or every three days, and so on. Not only is this dosing paradigm moreconsistent with current standards in pharmacological care, but may beparticularly beneficial for certain conditions, such as Alzheimer'sdisease and other neurodegenerative diseases, attention deficitdisorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and for certainpatient populations such as elderly, juvenile and patients that arefearful of or opposed to psychedelic assisted therapy. Moreover, thisapproach may be particularly well suited for managing cognitive deficitsand preventing neurodegeneration. For example, subpopulations of lowattentive and low motivated rats demonstrate improved performance on 5choice serial reaction time and progressive ratio tasks, respectively,following doses of psilocybin below the threshold for eliciting theclassical wet dog shake behavioral response associated withhallucinogenic doses (Blumstock et al., WO 2020/157569 A1). Similarly,treatment of patients with hallucinogenic doses of 5HT2A agonists isassociated with increased BDNF and activation of the mTOR pathway, whichare thought to promote neuroplasticity and are hypothesized to serve asmolecular targets for the treatment of dementias and otherneurodegenerative disorders (Ly et al. Cell Rep., 2018,23(11):3170-3182). Additionally, several groups have demonstrated thatlow, non-hallucinogenic and non-psychomimetic, doses of 5HT2A agonistsalso show similar neuroprotective and increased neuroplasticity effects(neuroplastogens) and reduced neuroinflammation, which could bebeneficial in both neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental diseases andchronic disorders (Manfredi et al., WO 2020/181194, Flanagan et al.,Int. Rev. Psychiatry, 2018, 13:1-13; Nichols et al., 2016, Psychedelicsas medicines; an emerging new paradigm). This repeated, lower, doseparadigm may extend the utility of these compounds to additionalindications and may prove useful for wellness applications.

Psychosis is often referred to as an abnormal state of mind that ischaracterized by hallucinatory experiences, delusional thinking, anddisordered thoughts. Moreover, this state is accompanied by impairmentsin social cognition, inappropriate emotional expressions, and bizarrebehavior. Most often, psychosis develops as part of a psychiatricdisorder, of which, it represents an integral part of schizophrenia. Itcorresponds to the most florid phase of the illness. The very firstmanifestation of psychosis in a patient is referred to as first-episodepsychosis. It reflects a critical transitional stage toward the chronicestablishment of the disease, that is presumably mediated by progressivestructural and functional abnormalities seen in diagnosed patients. [ACSChem. Neurosci. 2018, 9, 2241-2251]. Anecdotal evidence suggests thatlow, non-hallucinogenic, doses (microdosing) of psychedelics that areadministered regularly can reduce symptoms of schizophrenia andpsychosis.

The term “compound” refers to the compound and, in certain embodiments,to the extent they are stable, any hydrate or solvate thereof. A hydrateis the compound complexed with water, and a solvate is the compoundcomplexed with a solvent, which may be an organic solvent or aninorganic solvent. A “stable” compound is a compound that can beprepared and isolated and whose structure and properties remain or canbe caused to remain essentially unchanged for a period of timesufficient to allow use of the compound for the purposes describedherein (e.g., therapeutic administration to a subject). The compounds ofthe present invention are limited to stable compounds embraced bygeneral formula (I), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

As indicated above, the compounds of the present invention can beemployed in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Those skilledin the art will recognize those instances in which the compounds of theinvention may form salts. Examples of such compounds are describedherein by reference to possible salts. Such reference is forillustration only. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be used withcompounds for treating patients. Non pharmaceutical salts may, however,be useful in the preparation of intermediate compounds. The term“pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a salt (including an innersalt such as a zwitterion) that possesses effectiveness similar to theparent compound and that is not biologically or otherwise undesirable(e.g., is neither toxic nor otherwise deleterious to the recipientthereof). Thus, an embodiment of the invention provides pharmaceuticallyacceptable salts of the compounds of the invention. The term “salt(s)”,as employed herein, denotes any of the following: acidic salts formedwith inorganic and/or organic acids, as well as basic salts formed withinorganic and/or organic bases. Salts of compounds of the invention maybe formed by methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art, forexample, by reacting a compound of the invention with an amount of acidor base, such as an equivalent amount, in a medium such as one in whichthe salt precipitates or in aqueous medium followed by lyophilization.

Exemplary acid addition salts include acetates, ascorbates, benzoates,benzenesulfonates, bisulfates, borates, butyrates, citrates,camphorates, camphorsulfonates, fumarates, hydrochlorides,hydrobromides, hydroiodides, lactates, maleates, methanesulfonates(“mesylates”), naphthalenesulfonates, nitrates, oxalates, phosphates,propionates, salicylates, succinates, sulfates, tartarates,thiocyanates, toluenesulfonates (also known as tosylates) and the like.Suitable salts include acid addition salts that may, for example, beformed by mixing a solution of a compound with a solution of apharmaceutically acceptable acid such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuricacid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, or benzoic acid. Additionally,acids that are generally considered suitable for the formation ofpharmaceutically useful salts from basic pharmaceutical compounds arediscussed, for example, by P. Stahl et al, Camille G. (eds.), andHandbook of Pharmaceutical Salts. Properties, Selection and Use. (2002)Zurich: Wiley VCH; S. Berge et al, Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences1977 66(1) 1-19; P. Gould, International J. of Pharmaceutics (1986) 33201-217; Anderson et al, The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry (1996),Academic Press, New York; and in The Orange Book (Food & DrugAdministration, Washington, D.C. on their website). These disclosuresare incorporated herein by reference thereto.

Example 7: Human, Rat and Mouse Liver Microsomes Stability Objective

The objective of this study was to estimate in vitro metabolic stabilityof 1-12 in pooled human, male rat and male mouse liver microsomes. Theconcentrations of parent compounds in reaction systems were evaluated byLC-MS/MS for estimating the stability in pooled human, male rat and malemouse liver microsomes. The in vitro intrinsic clearances of testcompounds were determined as well.

Protocol

A master solution in the “Incubation Plate” containing phosphate buffer,ultra-pure H₂O, MgCl₂ solution and liver microsomes was made accordingto Table −3. The mixture was pre-warmed at 37° C. water bath for 5minutes.

TABLE 3 Preparation of master solution Reagent Stock ConcentrationVolume Final Concentration Phosphate buffer 200 mM 200 μL 100 mMUltra-pure H₂O — 106 μL — MgCl₂ solution  50 mM  40 μL  5 mM Microsomes20 mg/mL  10 μL 0.5 mg/mL

40 μL of 10 mM NADPH solution was added to each well. The finalconcentration of NADPH was 1 mM. The negative control samples wereprepared by replacing NADPH with 40 μL of ultra-pure H₂O. Samples wereprepared in duplicate. Negative controls were prepared in singlet.

The reaction was started with the addition of 4 μL of 200 μM exemplarytest compounds of the application or control compounds to each mastersolution to get the final concentration of 2 μM. This study wasperformed in duplicate.

Aliquots of 50 μL were taken from the reaction solution at 0, 15, 30, 45and 60 minutes. The reaction solutions were stopped by the addition of 4volumes of cold methanol with IS (100 nM alprazolam, 200 nM imipramine,200 nM labetalol and 2 μM ketoprofen). Samples were centrifuged at 3,220g for 40 minutes. Aliquot of 90 μL of the supernatant was mixed with 90μL of ultra-pure H2O and then was used for LC-MS/MS analysis.

LC/MS analysis was performed for all samples from this study using aShimadzu liquid chromatograph separation system equipped with degasserDGU-20A5R; solvent delivery unit LC-30AD; system controller SIL-30AC;column oven CTO-30A; CTC Analytics HTC PAL System;. Mass spectrometricanalysis was performed using an Triple Quad™ 5500 instrument.

All calculations were carried out using Microsoft Excel. Peak arearatios of test compound to internal standard (listed in the below table)were determined from extracted ion chromatograms.

All calculations were carried out using Microsoft Excel. Peak areas weredetermined from extracted ion chromatograms. The slope value, k, wasdetermined by linear regression of the natural logarithm of theremaining percentage of the parent drug vs. incubation time curve.

The in vitro half-life (in vitro t½) was determined from the slopevalue:

in vitro t _(1/2)=−(0.693/k)

Conversion of the in vitro t½ (min) into the in vitro intrinsicclearance (in vitro CLint, in μL/min/mg proteins) was done using thefollowing equation (mean of duplicate determinations):

${{in}{vitro}{CL}_{int}} = {\left( \frac{0.693}{\left( t_{1/2} \right)} \right) \star \left( \frac{{volume}{of}{incubation}({\mu L})}{{amount}{of}{proteins}({mg})} \right)}$

For the exemplary compounds of the application or control compound thatshowed an initial fast disappearance followed by a slow disappearance,only the time points that were within the initial rate were included inthe calculation.

Results & Discussion

Human, rat and mouse liver microsomes contain a wide variety of drugmetabolizing enzymes and are commonly used to support in vitro ADME(absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion) studies. Thesemicrosomes are used to examine the potential first-pass metabolismby-products of orally administered drugs.

Example 7: Psychedelic-Like Effect of Exemplary Compounds of Formula I

The effect of different doses of exemplary compound 1-28 of Formula Iand its active metabolite were evaluated on head-twitch response (HTR)as a behavior-based model of psychedelic activity.

1. Protocols

Mouse Head Twitch

Male, C57BL/6J mice (body weight range 20-30 g) were dosed with theappropriate dose of test article, and following a 1-minute pre-treatmenttime, placed in individual observation chambers. Animals were visuallyassessed for the incidence head twitches continuously over a 1 hrperiod. Head twitches were defined as a rapid jerk of the head which wasnot elicited by an external tactile stimulus (Corne and Pickering,Psychopharmacologia, 1967, 11(1): 65-78). Each head twitch wasindividually counted by a trained observer, and the data expressed asthe mean±SEM of 6-10 mice per group. Mice were used in a singleexperiment only.

Rat Behavioural Test

Male, Sprague-Dawley rats (body weight range 250-400 g) were dosed withthe appropriate dose of test article and following a 1-minutepre-treatment time, placed in locomotor activity boxes (dimensions 17″W×17″ L×12″ H) and continuously monitored for a 1 hr period with datacollected into 10 minute time bins. Animals were visually assessed forovert behavioural signs, including behaviours characteristic of 5-HT2Areceptor activation (wet dog shakes, back muscle contractions), 5-HT2Areceptor activation (yawning, penile grooming) and 5-HT1A behaviours(forepaw treading, hindlimb abduction) (Halberzettl et al, Behav BrainRes. 256: 328-345, 2013). Additional behavioural and somatic signscharacteristic of 5-HT syndrome (e.g. tremor, salivation, flat bodyposture, core body temperature change) were also measured.Simultaneously, the spontaneous activity of the rats was measured usingan automated tracking system (Med Associates, VT, USA). Activity datacollected included total distance traveled, rearing counts andambulatory episodes. All data were expressed as the mean±SEM of 6-10rats per group.

Drug Discrimination in the Rat

Male Sprague-Dawley rats were initially food restricted by presentationof 18-20 g food at day end (single housing). After 7 daysacclimatisation to the food restriction procedure, they were traineddaily to lever press for food (45 mg Bioserve pellet) in standard2-lever operant conditioning chambers controlled by Med-PC software overa period of 1 week (Med. Associates Ins., St. Albans, Vt.). The ratswere trained to lever press for food to an FR10 value (i.e. 10 leverpresses for a single food reward). Once stable food responding wasacquired to both response levers, discrimination training began. Over aperiod of 20-50 training sessions, the rats were trained to associateone lever to a psilocybin training dose of 1 mg/kg SC, and the secondlever to a neutral stimulus (saline, SC) (Winter et al, PharmacolBiochem Behav. 87(4): 472-480, 2007). Training sessions lasted 30-min oruntil the delivery of 50 pellets and continued until the animalsattained appropriate stimulus control (defined as six consecutivesessions where animals made no more than 16 lever presses before thedelivery of the first reward, and at least 95% total responses on theappropriate lever). The rats continued to receive daily food ration intheir home cage at day end.

Once trained, tests of substitution were conducted. On test days, bothlevers were designated active, i.e., every 10th response on either leverresulted in delivery of a food pellet. Test sessions continued until 50pellets had been obtained or 30 min had elapsed. During these sessionsresponse rate was also measured.

Results and Discussion

FIG. 1 . is a graph showing the effect of various doses of exemplarycompound of Formula I, I-28, on head-twitch response (HTR) in maleC57BL6 mice. The mice were treated with compound I-28 by SC route (N=6mice/dose), and the total number of head twitches were recorded over a 1h period. Data is expressed as mean±SEM. The induction of head twitcheselicited by 5-HT2A receptor agonists is believed to represent abehavioural proxy of their psychedelic effects. Also locomotor activityand other 5-HT receptor signs measured (FIG. 1 ). The metabolite of I-28(I-45) demonstrates greater efficacy to induce head twitch than theexemplary prodrug I-28 (FIG. 2 ).
